How to Get relief From Writing Anxiety
Anxiety, apprehension, cold feet, consternation, dismay, distress, dread, fear, fright, horror, nervousness, panic, scare, strain, stress, tension, terror, trepidation, unease or uneasiness: whatever it's called, you've got it.
And the reason is ... you've got to write an article!
Writing anxiety or 'writer's block' happens to all writers at some point in their writing lives. It may be that you don't know what to write about or, with your topic firmly in place, you don't know where to start.
At this point, procrastination sets in.
Doing anything, rather than actually writing, seems a whole lot better than putting pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard. Even walking the dog, in pouring rain and gale-force winds, has higher priority!
Try some of these ways to restore your writing equilibrium:
1. Avoid starting with a blank page. There's nothing more daunting than beginning from nothing. Work with a template. This will help you to stay focused on your topic. Download and print out some appropriate free graphic organizers from the Internet or use graphic organizer software, like NotateIt, that will help you to rearrange and organise your thoughts in freestyle format.
2. Brainstorm your topic. Take some time out for creative thinking with a friend or colleague. You'll get some new twists on the theme, especially if they're not 'experts' in your subject matter!
3. Write an outline. Just set out a list of headings. They don't even have to be in order - you can always rearrange them later. Write each heading on a separate card or piece of paper and shuffle the result. A new order may emerge that you hadn't thought of, giving you a new slant on your topic.
4. Use a whiteboard. fix a large magnetic whiteboard on your wall and use it to rearrange your ideas. If a whiteboard on the wall feels too intrusive, try some inexpensive whiteboard software on your PC instead.
5. Break your task down into smaller chunks. From your outline, choose one heading and write. Then go on to another heading and write. It doesn't matter which order you write in, because it can all be rearranged later. Not only that, you're achieving your larger goal in a series of smaller steps and that makes it much more manageable.
6. Write in the way that you speak. It's friendlier to read and it's an easier and more natural way for you to write.
7. Don't worry about perfection too soon. Spell checking, indenting paragraphs, changing font size - this is the icing on the cake. Just let your writing flow and, just for once, forget the grammar. Perfection can come later - at the redrafting stage.
8. Think about your readers in a different way. You may be anxious that your article is not "good enough" to be read by your peers. Remember, even if your audience are "experts", they don't know what you think about your subject. Nor does it mean that they know everything there is to know about a subject area. Target your writing towards an intelligent, enthusiastic, but non-expert, reader and your writing confidence will grow.
9. You've completed your writing. This is your first draft. The secret, now, is to redraft and redraft again. You'd be surprised at just how many things you'll want to say differently when the sun rises tomorrow! Read your article once a day, make changes then put it aside until the next day. In a few days, you'll read your article and find nothing to change. That's when you're ready to publish!
10. Believe in yourself. The first articles you write may not be perfect but the more you write, the better your style will become. It's like learning to walk - all it takes is a little time and lots of practice.

Anyone successfully cured separation anxiety?
I am pretty educated as far as dog behavior, learning theory, and desensitization, I just want to hear from people that have treated it successfully and what worked, what didn't. My dog just whines when she can't see me and occasionally chews something when nobody's home. It's not serious...yet. I've had her for 1 month and she is about 1 year old. I am her second owner.
My dog has serious separation anxiety. I tried keeping her in our fenced backyard while at work, but she turned the yard into Swiss cheese by digging holes, then she dug out under the fence and has attacked our mailman twice. So I constrained her on a chain in the backyard, but then received two complaints in the mail due to all-day barking and whining; one more complaint would result in a $300 fine. So I put her in the garage while at work. She scratched lines of paint off the door to the house; chewed the connecting rope that opens the garage door and got out; peed all over the floor, which flowed over onto our storage boxes; then finally when I permantly affixed the garage door shut, she got herself stuck in the wall by pushing through a metal screen and the opening wasn't big enough for her to fit. She cried all day until we found her. What a baby dog! But she is great when we're home... a very kind, lovable, well-behaved dog when we're around.
I spoke to a behaviorist who said my problem could possibly be solved with lots of time and money spent on training... trying things like leaving her for a few minutes, then returning. Then leaving for a few more minutes longer, then returning (so she learns that I'm coming back and not abandoning her). The KEY thing, she said, was to not act any differently when you leave or come back, to just act normally, do NOT show the dog added attention. For example, when you leave, don't pet the dog, hug it, say goodbye, or show any display of over-attention; maybe just say something neutral, like "Stay." And likewise, when you come back in, just ignore the dog. Maybe say, "Hi," or "Good girl," in a very neutral voice. But DON'T be all, "Oh!!! My good girl!! How've you've been?!!!" and start petting her all crazy.
I did start practicing these methods for a short while, but I didn't have the time necessary to devote to it. So ultimately, the solution I chose was to spend $260 a month to take her to doggy day care. And this was the BEST decision I could've ever made because she loves it there!!! She gets exercise, she loves the dogs, she loves the guy who watches them. It's a large property with big, outdoor yards with wooden platforms for them to climb up on or sleep under in the shade, tents, and lots of plants and, overall, other dogs to play with. There's four different yards, so friendly dogs are grouped together; unfriendly dogs get their own yard; etc. You might look for something like that in your area. Otherwise, try the timely practice of leaving your house constantly throughout the day so your dog just gets used to it, returning after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15, then 30, etc. and again--don't act any differently or give added attention when you leave or return. Also, as someone said above, it is helpful to leave the dog with a worn sweater that smells like you, and also to play some soft music, and definitely leave the dog with plenty to keep it occupied (e.g., raw hide bones, greeny bones; or get creative and hide bones around the house! haha, I've done that...)
Good luck. 
P.S. It did start to help when I practiced what the behaviorist said; again, I just didn't have time to keep it up. However, she is to the point now where I can go outside to mow the lawn or clean my car and she stays quietly inside minding her own business and not freaking out like she used to. It did help....
